Well and not just about the mechanics of it, but like? The emotions around it. That’s almost more important. Teenagers are probably feeling The Most feelings of their lives, but they’re left on their own for a lot of it. It’s no wonder a lot of people look at that time with nostalgia but also dread.

You have to be honest and open about such things, otherwise you are doing children no favors. It’s also not great that eventually shame takes over that sense of curiosity.

Adults are profoundly uncomfortable with teenage sexuality in a way that is just not helpful at all. I get it, no one wants to have The Talk, but at the same time, abandoning kids to The Streets for all their insight into sex is wrong.

No Bush v Gore, no President Bush
No 9/11 bump for Bush, does O’Connor retire?
Rehnquist dies, President Gore nominates someone who 100% is not determined to undermine the American state from within, hollowing out the law until it technically exists but constrains no rich man.

Well unfortunately conservatism as a movement isn’t what we would like to be but what we are presented with.
Are there ideas a hypothetical sane conservative movement could put forth I would agree with? Absolutely!
But we don’t have one of those.

2000 I’d just graduated college, and had to skip a family vacation to the Outer Banks to find a job I’d quit two years later. I’d go on the vacation instead, even though I guarantee it would have driven me crazy.

The central truth that I’m coming to understand in these times, is that every Democrat will be held responsible by the political press and the public at large for the sins of one, while no republican will ever take accountability for the sins of another
